It's obvious they just want money, and don't really give a damn about our health
I really enjoyed the part of that article about how different companies were actually reducing the use of bad chemicals. Even though I found it ridiculous that they probably could've done it easily enough before there was ever an issue with warning labels(they obviously had little to no problems changing over). I mean come on, arsenic in bottled water(why spend extra money for bottled water) and it took them a law that would require them to say there's a poisonous substance in their water to change it? And still they only did it because they were worried about losing money. There should be a class action law suit by every cancer patient against the food and drug industry.
I really don't know if genetically modified foods are bad myself, and I'm not even sure what my doctor-friend thinks of them. I think he's more afraid of them because there haven't been any conclusive studies on it, and any person who wants to be healthy would avoid taking chances. When I asked him if they were healthy the other day he brought up that issue, but didn't really say if they were good or bad for you.
and yea, i doubt people wo uld stop eatting and drinking unhealthily just because of a silly warning label. people didn't stop drinking or smoking, and nobody has stopped eatting fast food since it's been found how bad it is for you. In all honesty, the only way to eat healthy is to eat raw, natural foods(they can be cooked), but I think that's the issue with genetically modified food. It presents itself as "Raw" and yet there's an obvious concern there that it's not "Natural".
From what I understand the good things about genetic modification are that they can add disease/pest/virii resistance, increase yield and alot of other things, and when we are talking about people having tons and tons of crops having disease and pest resistance is a good thing. So it is definitley good for the industry.
From what I understand the literal concern for this healthwise might be the fact that our body uses what we eat to regenerate cells. The way the body digests food is by breaking it apart into simple forms. With "Unnatural" foods the body can't break it down properly, or it can but it leaves alot of pieces floating around that it can't digest, these are usually considered free radicals, I believe, and have been known to cause cancer. So the concern with genetically modified food is essentially that it has some extra parts our body isn't used to, and thus can't digest properly. Plus, consider the fact that our body uses this food to regenerate cells, what would happen if it started using "Bad" parts(again, another fundamental part of disease and cancer, remember cancer is incomplete cells going out of control).
